Chapter Ninety-Four: Kangxi Decides
Qianqing Palace
Kangxi was criticizing the folds in his hand, and when Leshan came, he put down the pen in his hand and asked, "Where is the matter in the Internal Affairs Office?" ”
Leshan didn't dare to look at Kangxi's expression and said, "Master, the person who arranged it has been done, and the fish has been hooked." ”
Kangxi snorted, is there any follow-up. Leshan didn't dare to ask, so he could only wait quietly below. Suddenly, Kangxi said: "The incense burner before has you checked it out?" ”
Leshan saw Kangxi asking about this matter and hurriedly said: "Master Qiqi, the slave has been found out, when the saint said that he would order to send Concubine Zhao out of the palace with a concubine ceremony, a little eunuch who was waiting for your master in the palace listened, and the little eunuch was bought by Concubine Niu Hulu, and he often passed on your recent situation and whereabouts to Concubine Niu Hulu on weekdays. When the little eunuch learned about it that day, he went to the Chengqian Palace to tell the truth. ”
"What about that incense burner, which was also made by Concubine Niu Hulu?" Kangxi said in a deep voice. Kangxi still has a lot of feelings for Concubine Niu Hulu, although he repeatedly made Kangxi angry, but for Concubine Niu Hulu, Kangxi has never been angry with her for this. And the turmoil in the palace before also made Kangxi extremely guilty about Concubine Niu Hulu, and Kangxi didn't want to let Concubine Niu Hulu have anything that he couldn't accept.
"It's... Concubine Niu Hulu asked people to put the incense burner into her shoulder, saying that she liked the smell, and who knew that the people of the Internal Affairs Office would use it for Concubine Zhao after changing the place where the shoulder was raised. "Leshan Road.
"So it's a coincidence?" Kangxi smiled sarcastically. Kangxi never believed in coincidences, especially in this deep palace, where did Kangxi not know that coincidences were always just artificial.
Kangxi's expressionless face made Leshan dare not speak. Kangxi didn't say anything when he saw that Leshan didn't answer, because he didn't need Leshan to answer.
"Then how did Concubine Zhao know that there was something wrong with the incense burner?" Kangxi continued to ask. There is indeed a problem with the incense burner, but the average person may not necessarily understand it. Therefore, Kangxi also wondered that Concubine Zhao was just a much-loved little girl, and she even knew these palace secret medicines. Kangxi thought of some kind of possibility, and his eyes sank.
"Zhao Concubine actually didn't find that the incense burner had a secret medicine, but there was a strong musk smell in the incense burner, it is said that Zhao Concubine Niangniang was allergic to musk since she was a child, so Zhao Concubine Niangniang quickly discovered the problem with the incense burner." Leshan replied. Leshan also discovered the suspicion in Kangxi's words, and hurriedly explained to the emperor for the niece of this former colleague.
"Huh? Musk? Kangxi asked. Kangxi naturally knows what problems musk has, you must know that kind of powerful musk can cause women to be infertile, and the concubines in the palace have always been respectful of musk.
"This incense burner also passed through the hands of Concubine Ma Jiashu of Zhongcui Palace, and this musk was ordered by Concubine Ma Jiashu to get it in. And after Concubine Niu Hulu found out that Concubine Ma Jia had done it, she turned all the clues to Concubine Ma Jia. Leshan couldn't help but cry for Tu Hai when he said this, Concubine Ma Jia in the palace had been under the banner of Tu Hai and was powerful in the palace, but although Tu Hai did not say anything to confirm the matter, he did not refute it, and Concubine Ma Jia borrowed his momentum, but he didn't expect that now he has raised the appetite of Concubine Ma Jia, and he actually wants to harm Tu Hai's niece in turn.
Kangxi didn't expect that there was also Concubine Ma Jia, to be honest, since Tuhai let his niece enter the palace, Kangxi has not paid attention to Concubine Ma Jia, even if Concubine Ma Jiashu is pregnant with his child in her belly at this time. Now Kangxi has always had to consolidate his strength, even if it is an unborn son, he can't distract Kangxi.
Kangxi said: "Are you saying that Concubine Ma Jiashu also has movements inside?" Why can't she learn well! Kangxi felt that Concubine Ma Jiashu's brain was really not very effective, if Tu Hai found out that Concubine Ma Jiashu harmed Concubine Zhao and could not have children, where would Tu Hai let her go at that time. Kangxi thought that after Tuhai showed his attitude, Concubine Ma Jiashu would first lie dormant in a low-key manner, at least until the child in her belly was born before continuing to find a way to make friends with Tuhai, and when Kangxi himself looked at the born prince, the relationship between Concubine Ma Jiashu and Tuhai would be eased. After all, Kangxi has also suffered the inconspicuous losses of his mother's family, and Kangxi naturally hopes that his prince will not experience what he has experienced before in the palace.
Of course, Yun Yao didn't know that Kangxi still had such an idea, otherwise Yun Yao would probably want to slap Kangxi in the face.
"Does Tuhai know?" Kangxi was still holding on to a bit of luck, thinking that he would like to keep his unborn prince's mother.
Leshan was frightened when he heard this, and said: "Master Tu also has someone next to Concubine Ma Jia, when Concubine Ma Jiashu was going to do this before, Lord Tu ordered someone to replace the incense burner, but Concubine Niu Hulu's people were also staring at the back, and the incense burner was replaced. ”
Kangxi sighed in his heart when he heard this, Tu Hai deserved to be a loyal minister, if it wasn't for Concubine Niu Hulu who replaced the incense burner behind before, maybe Tu Hai wouldn't have seen it. Tu Hai was also considerate of him, the emperor, and did not take the opportunity to ask for more benefits.
It's just that Kangxi thinks of Concubine Niu Hulu here, but he feels that it is difficult to do it. In fact, Kangxi made Yun Yao a concubine before, and he was not afraid of the Niu Hulu family. The Niu Hulu family is too big, so big that Kangxi can't control it, Kangxi brought Concubine Zhao into the palace because he wanted the Niu Hulu family outside the palace to support the two separately, and even Kangxi buried a lot of traps between Concubine Niu Hulu and Concubine Zhao. After Concubine Zhao entered the palace, it was impossible for the two to form an alliance.
The things that Kangxi ordered the internal affairs office to make for the concubine were actually not for Concubine Niu Hulu, but for Concubine Zhao. Kangxi's move not only wanted to reward Tuhai's loyalty, but also made Concubine Niu Hulu jealous.
Moreover, Kangxi also buried a trap in the Internal Affairs Office to lure Concubine Niu Hulu to attack. When the truth about the affairs of the Internal Affairs Office was revealed, Concubine Niu Hulu not only had a lower reputation in the palace, but also could fight with Concubine Zhao endlessly.
I have to say that Kangxi's mind is really deep, and even the pillow people who get along day and night have to calculate.
However, Kangxi is also well versed in the way of power and scheming, and knows that he must give Tuhai an explanation at this time. However, Kangxi weighed Concubine Niu Hulu and Concubine Ma Jiashu, and finally chose to keep Concubine Niu Hulu. Although Kangxi wanted the Niu Hulu family to split, he couldn't let Concubine Niu Hulu be killed all at once, so Kangxi decided to erase all traces of Niu Hulu's actions in this matter, and only told Tuhai that it was Concubine Ma Jia's actions.
And Concubine Ma Jiashu here, Kangxi was also a little hesitant, after all, Concubine Ma Jia had a child in her belly who might be the prince, and Kangxi couldn't be heavy-handed, so he decided to let Concubine Ma Jiashu report the child to Yun Yao to raise after giving birth.
Kangxi thinks that his arrangement is excellent, but Yun Yao may not recognize it here. If Yun Yao knew that Kangxi had such an idea, it would definitely be as disgusting as eating a fly.
